On December 7, Grammy announced the nominees for the 2019 award ceremony. For the nominees in the 'Best Recording Package' category is the K-pop boy band's 'Love Yourself: Tear' album designed by HuskyFox.

Other nominees for the category include Mitski's 'Be the Cowboy,' St. Vincent's 'Masseduction,' The Chairman's 'The Offering,' and Foxhole's 'Well Kept Thing.'

BTS also attempted to enter the nominees for 'The Best New Artist,' however, they were not nominated in this category.

The '2019 Grammy Awards' is scheduled to take place on February 10 at Staples Center, Los Angeles.

GRAMMYS are no joke and Even western artist struggle to get nominated !

This is a very big honor <3

BTS - first kpop act to get grammy nomination....

Congratulation for the nomination, HuskyFox and BTS! :'D

I'm so happy for the boys and their wonderful team. Even though it's about the visual of the album, it's still related to BTS, and HuskyFox team spent a lot of time and effort on it :") I saw Army congratulating the cofounder on Instagram, it's honestly very sweet.

BABY STEPS ARMY. Next time we gon get noms for music too 💜💜

You got that right baby steps. Joon said "Happiness is not something you have to achieve. You can still feel happy during the process of achieving something". BTS debuted last year in the U.S and already got a foot in the VERY IMPORTANT proverbial door, this is huge and it is just the beginning... Plus Yoongi now gets to attend the Grammys 😁

It's still an amazing step for bts and i'm excited, there's always next year, good job boys

and to quote Billboard:

BTS earning the recognition (along with their art team) is a further testament to the importance of the larger teams that collectively work together to bring not only high-quality music, but top-notch visuals and packaging that coincide with the larger themes represented by the music.

The nomination for BTS' Love Yourself: Tear marks a major moment of inclusion and appreciation for South Korea's breakout artists, and is an important step inside and gaining attention of the notoriously traditional Recording Academy.

Well, this literally made me choke whatever I was drinking. There were so many people being pessimistic and saying that BTS would never get nominated for a Grammy mainly because whoever decides these things always sort of had a prejudice regarding boy bands (actually that appears to be really common in the world not just US) and there was quite a strict promotion schedule they'd have had to follow. But omg!

Also let's think about how boy bands like Backstreet boys or Nsync were nominated multiple times but never won anything and One Direction didn't even get a nomination before the guys went solo. This is mindboggling me, holy shit. It's not that I didn't believe in it, but I had my expectations low mostly when they said BTS wasn't eligible for Best New Artist.

...If they win this, "what Suga wants, Suga gets" will never be any more true of a statement. lol

Heads up that it’s not a music based award y’all. It’s “presented for the visual look of an album. It is presented to the art director of the winning album, not to the performer(s), unless the performer is also the art director.“

So it’s more so a baby step, hopefully they’ll get nominated on the future for their actual music

After leaving my previous job 12 months ago, i've had some good luck to learn about this website which was a life-saver for me... They offer jobs for which people can work online from their house. My latest paycheck after working for them for 4 months was for $4500... Amazing thing about is that the only thing required is simple typing skills and access to internet...Read all about it here...

So how is this grammy award system different to any other Korean award system. Do fans participate as voting or is it just solely music critics and producers?

No, I'm Army but the first Korean act to win a Grammy was Sumi Jo, which she did in 1993. However, without belittling her incredible talent, she's an opera singer, so she had the advantage of being taken more seriously. In terms of Kpop BTS is the first, and this is a gamechanging move in the musical industry to have Grammy giving an acknowledgement to Kpop, an industry that's often judged for being superficial and manufactured. Even if it's just the album design, it takes a breakthrough artist like BTS to get noticed by Grammys. If it's not for their achievement, Grammy won't even bat an eye to Kpop in general.

They might be confused which is understandable, judging from BB and other articles it wasn't very clear. HuskyFox team worked on the album art based on the overall theme and messages of the series. I'm sure people from both sides shared their ideas to get such result. they did show their gratitude to Bangtan, Bighit for it. I think it's a big deal no matter what, that the album got a recognition and not completely ignored.

1. Check Grammy nomination page. They mention not only HuskyFox but also BTS as the album performer :)

3. Yes, the designer was the one who received the award but who knows -- this might open the doors to more opportunities for Korean artists and other Asian representations in the traditional, conservative Grammys.

The world is changing and I'm happy that BTS (and us!) are a part of this era :)

I don't understand the category. But it seems silly to me to nominate BTS for any Grammy. Sorry, that's just my personal opinion because I've followed kpop for 15 years, and there's absolutely no difference between BTS and a dozen other kpop boy groups. And there's arguably better Korean albums period.

This is such a gratuitous nod to the popularity of kpop, rather than to quality of music - it cheapens the Grammy's
